our "instant index" begins with a heart-pounding encounter. Look at the photos. A school of sharks, a dive tour operator off the coast of south africa. He lowered a bucket of sardines into the shark-infested waters, and watch. First, one shark, then quickly a feeding frenzy. Dozens of others, as big as 16 feet long and 2,000 pounds. One shark, a real glutton, putting the whole bucket in its mouth. The diver says the secret to staying calm is never touch a shark's nose. It's the number one thing that gets them mad. And a remarkable display of heart and strength, caught on tape. Watch the right side of your screen. It's an overturned suv on a highway in albuquerque. An 8-year-old girl pinned underneath.
